Davis Likely Wasn’t the Person Arrested in Champaign

Dolphins rookie cornerback Vontae Davis appears to be on his way to exoneration by the Champaign (Ill.) Police Department. Rene Dunn, a community affairs officer for the department, released a statement today acknowledging the likelihood that the man stopped and cited June 9 was not Davis. The confusion began Tuesday when the University of Illinois student newspaper ran a story saying that Davis – who was a star for the Illini – had been cited for driving without a valid license and excessive noise by his vehicle. The Dolphins questioned the report, pointing out that Davis had attended workouts at their Davie training facility on the mornings of June 9 and 10 and had attended a rookie seminar in between.
